Could you build this?
Partial Apple's Vision framework makes on-device text and face detection in photos accessible, but performant video frame manipulation without memory spikes and true vector-level PDF redaction require specialized iOS media engineering.
What it would actually take: The app is written in Swift using Vision for detection, PDFKit for documents, and AVFoundation for video. The difficult component is the AVAssetReader/AVAssetWriter pipeline that tracks moving bounding boxes and burns blur/mosaic filters frame-by-frame without memory exhaustion on large video files, alongside parsing PDF content streams to sanitize underlying vector text rather than just drawing black overlay boxes. Expertise in low-level iOS media pipelines (CoreMedia, CoreVideo) and document sanitization is necessary.
